Got a package yesterday, was expecting it to be my surge tank but this rocked up instead!! 4 months and the wait is up. I should have ordered front runners at the same time but oh well :(

Should look secs with mickeys wrapped around them and mounted ?

Also started to fiddling around where to mount my boost solenoid and FPR. Was thinking about mounting it there but decided to keep it hidden as best we can so hopefully mount it under the catch can somewhere.

Should have some more goodies arriving this week as well! 6boost, surge tank, head and the bottom end :D

Thanks mate! 

Surge tank and hardline turned up as well! Nice bit of gear. Tank is going back as it had a bits that were damaged during anodizing so they're upgrading me to an SPR1200 ?

Wasted no time getting the pumps in, not that I'll be able to use them yet... 

Need to start ripping out my stock fuel lines that will be replaced with 1/2" -8 hardline. Will be -8 to the bay splitting to -6 into the rail then -8 to the fpr and back go surge.

Little bit of progress on her last week. Ripped the stock fuel lines out to make way for the new -8 hardline. Need to make something to hold the brake line in place as well.

Few of my sensors arrived. 5bar MAP sensor, and oil and fuel pressure sensors. Also ordered a new IAT sensor, oil temp sensor, Link CAN Lambda and Billet Coil Kit 2000hp R35 kit.

Engine builder sent a few snaps to me today! Ready for assembly now wooo! Rings are all gapped, just gotta drop down the old pump housing so he can machine out the slot for the crank trigger, and take new crank seal and pump gasket and it's going together.

NSFW ;)

Spent a few hours on it this morning and painted the block. Came up alright, few hard to get spots around the deck that I missed cause I didnt want to get paint on/inside.

Fitted up my crank trigger as well. Thinking going for a 12t on there instead of the 6t.

Went to put the sump on but didn't have any pickup o rings left so ordered that, rear main, cam seals and rocker cover seals as well. Hopefully next couple days ill have the short block all bolted together.

Have had the inlaws up for the last couple weeks so nothing has really been done on her. Went down and picked up a new set of MTs. Can't wait to get em fitted up and see how they sit in the guards. Also finished mounting the surge tank, relays are mounted so will finish wiring them up sometime this week.

We also decided to go to a 26 head, it's getting built atm and going to contain a full race port, ferrea valves, kelford springs, cut seats and a service. Hopefully should be done early next month. 

Had a couple hours spare today so wired up the surge tank. Just gotta find my split coro to clean it all up and get some smaller lugs for the pos and neg on the tank. Also gotta get the factory pump trigger over to relays.

Popped down to the shop after work today and slapped my sump on. Bottom ends ready to roll now.

Stole a couple of crimps while I was down there and got the surge tank 90% sorted. Gotta pull the 3rd line out and put a bung in then she can get bolted in and not come out... Until we need more fuel ?

what size and back space are those welds? And how much clearance do you have on the rear brakes? looks great with the 27" (27.5) radial!

Theyre a 15x8 6.5 bs. Its got a 10mm spacer on it which isn't ideal but I had to space it off the brakes (only need 3mm but wanted a little more). If i was gonna do it again i'd get 15x8 6"bs. Would push it out to around where mine sit now. Wish I could slam a 275/60 under it :(

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
